Quite honestly, I would just use a single 360mm rad in the roof and just invest in lots of high quality fans. You don't need that much rad. space in your case to cool your parts even with a high overclock on both parts.

What kind of overclock do you want on your CPU and GPU?

I have a 360 rad mounted up top and an rx120 at the bottom as you can see in my gallery, My pump is tucked behind my 120 rad at the base, I would go with the 120 over the 240 at the bottom

The radiator on the rear would be unnecessary with the two inside. I would not recommend placing the pump upside down, but I have little experience with that style of pump so I'm not sure how it would affect it. I would say stick with the two internal rads, dont mount the pump upside down if you can help it, and have at it.

I pretty much put that together to see what like my most expensive cooling would look like. I like seeing what that price would be so when I go to buy everything and I downgrade a bunch of stuff I come out with less then I was expecting lol. I think the 420+ the back 240 is overkill but just wanted a couple opinions. I wanna get my 3930 to at least 4.2 and the 690 I'll go as far as my card will let me. Forgot to ask, is the heatsink for the MCP35x worth it? As for fans I was thinking either the COUGAR CF-V12HPB or if I can find a good quality white or red fan.

Edit: Forgot to say that I also plan on adding another 690 in the near future.

If you want to go really expensive... just start adding in BitsPower compression fittings, angle adapters, and rotaries. Cost adds up really really quickly on them.

With the pump I'm not sure if the heatsink is worth it, but... it probably is. Those pumps dont dump the heat into the water like the d5's do.

I don't like the idea of having the pump on top of the power supply so I was thinking of cutting out the bottom part of the fan holder that would restrict the fittings from being there. Would a 240 slim/reg rad fit in that front fan area? I do know its best to do res > pump > blah blah blah but I already uploaded the pics lol.

Edit: Also wanted to ask if its worth putting a drain port in by like the graphics card or res.

I would just stick with the original plan but get a ddc stand and mount it to a case wall above the bottom rad. If not that you can get a UN Designs stand and mount the pump to the front fan points. Btw, a drain port at the lowest possible spot is a good idea for servicing later.

Drain ports make water cooling so much better. You can live without one, but it's so much nicer to have one in there.

honestly, the heatsink and fan are a great long-life extender for that pump. not worried about heat transfer
to the coolant, heat transfer to air so the pump will live a long-life.

where ever the lowest point of the loop is where a drain-port should be.
